As the leaves turn golden and the air grows crisp, Thanksgiving arrives, reminding us of the importance of gratitude and community.<\/p>\n\n\n

This cherished holiday is the perfect time to slow down, reflect, and appreciate.<\/strong> It\u2019s also a great time to enjoy your favorite food and celebrate with some of your favorite people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But beyond the sumptuous feasts and festive parades, Thanksgiving embodies the power of community and the spirit of giving.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Communities these days aren’t just about the people next door, they’re online, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether it’s face-to-face or over the internet, what’s important is we’re all<\/b> looking<\/b> for a place to belong and ways to care for each other.<\/strong> With so much happening in the world, sticking together and building these connections is more vital than ever. They’re the foundation that keeps us strong and pushes us forward to make things better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here at Crisis Assistance Ministry, we see the power of community every day as you reach into our lobby and offer help, hope, and understanding to neighbors who are struggling to make ends meet<\/a>. <\/strong>Each day, you lift up more than 100 families who seek assistance to stabilize their homes, keep a roof over their heads, and maintain the basics of life in the face of a financial crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you. Let’s spread that warm, thankful generosity even further.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
